TO THE RESCUE

WHERE'S one old lady in Dunedin who thinks 4ZB is everything a radio station should be. The station reached this peak in-her esteem on the night torrential rain. caused much flooding throughout Dunedin suburbs. At 17 p.m. she noticed the waters were rising about her house, and because she did not know what else to do she rang 4Z5. 4ZB at once broadcast an urgent S.O.S., and it did not go unheeded. A willing band of volunteers got busy with shovels and sandbags, and by their efforts most of the threatened flood was diverted. 4ZB ranks high with this old lady.
